[edk2-devel] [Patch] BaseTools: Add GCC flags to Basetool build.
Posted by Bob Feng 4 years, 12 months ago 
BZ:https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1764

Some compiler flags restrict the compiler from making
arbitrary decisions while handling undefined C/C++ behaviors.
Therefore they can be used to fix some issues caused by undefined behavior.

For example, for GCC, the following flags are available:
-fno-strict-overflow tells the compiler NOT to assume
that signed overflow does not occur.
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks tells
the compiler NOT to assume that null pointer deference does not exist.
-fwrapv tells the compiler that signed overflow always wraps.

This patch is going to add these 3 build options to
BaseTool GCC build option.

(1) This line is hard to review. Please add a patch first that
implements no functional changes, just splits this line into multiple
<=80char lines, using the backslash.

(2) When you add "-W" and "-f" options, please try to preserve the
grouping. We already have two "-f" options, so the new ones should be
adjacent to those.

(3) My gcc-4.8 manual states, under "-fstrict-overflow":

           See also the -fwrapv option.  Using -fwrapv means that
           integer signed overflow is fully defined: it wraps.  When
           -fwrapv is used, there is no difference between
           -fstrict-overflow and -fno-strict-overflow for integers.
           With -fwrapv certain types of overflow are permitted.  For
           example, if the compiler gets an overflow when doing
           arithmetic on constants, the overflowed value can still be
           used with -fwrapv, but not otherwise.

The point is that, with gcc-4.8, "-fno-strict-overflow" is redundant,
once we specify "-fwrapv" -- assuming we don't use floating point in the
C-language utilities in BaseTools.

Additionally, checking the latest published GCC docs on the web:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-8.3.0/gcc/Option-Summary.html

it looks like the "-f[no-]strict-overflow" option has been removed
altogether.

Therefore I believe we should drop "-fno-strict-overflow".

Thanks,
Laszlo
